Yasmine Weaver · Answer 1

Total = $35

After buying the cake,

$35 - $18 = $17

Number of balloons he can buy:

17 : 4 = 4.25

So, he can buy4 balloons.

4 ballons = 4x4 = $16

So amount left = $17 - $16 = $1

Rylan Dyer · Answer 2

35 - 18 = 17

The number 4 can fit into the number 17 4 times. 4 x 4 = 16

Therefore, Abit will only have $1 left over.
